Shohei Ohtani, the star two-way player, recently became a free agent after ending his contract with the Los Angeles Angels. Many teams vied for his talent, but the LA Dodgers were adamant about having him. According to sources, the Dodgers have offered him a whopping 10-year deal worth $700 million, making him the highest-paid player in the history of Major League Baseball. However, it’s important to state that the figure will be deferred. This means that Ohtani won’t receive the entire amount all at once but over an extended period. Despite this, the whole amount is committed, and the Dodgers are willing to invest heavily in Ohtani’s talent and potential.
